This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.

False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.

For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.

He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.

I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.

For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.

For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.

Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
